WHAT IS MAJOR SEVENTH?
 
A Major Seventh is a musical chord, one semi-tone below the perfect harmony: the Octave. The subtle dissonance embodied by this unique musical construct initiates the musical movement.

The Major Seventh does not symbolise the quest of perfection but the tiny loss of balance, this slight momentum, that creates the movement…

This is where belongs the heart and soul of the story :
Moving forward… whatever it takes.
